What an unexpected and enjoyable end to a busy day… more on that later…
We headed over to Southampton from our digs in Fareham for clutch replacement, on a TF 135, this morning. Good to meet Stephen and Ianto. The clutch hadn’t actually gone as such, but Stephen could feel it was on its way out, and the car was becoming an unpleasant drive for him.
New clutch kit fitted. The release arm had seized up too, taking out the seals on the slave cylinder, release arm duly freed off and new seals fitted to the slave cylinder.
We then headed a few miles, along the road, for the annual service on Mark’s MGF 120 mpi (in Copperleaf), shame not to see Mark this time, but lovely to see Joanne, who welcomed us with a much needed cracking brew! Thank you, both for your order of the polos and baseball caps.
We had a message from Leigh Crane, owner of a very good looking TF 135, who lives not far from where we are staying, and who had wanted to meet up with us at some point whilst in the area.
The ideal opportunity presented itself this evening, with a car meet at Lock Heath. We quickly got ourselves scrubbed up and headed over. So glad that we did, what an absolutely fantastic turnout of some amazing cars. Wow!
Lovely to meet Leigh, albeit it brief, thank you for the invite and thinking of us. Just so good to see people getting together again doing what they love.
Bit of a drizzly morning and not what was forecast, but at least there was a bit of a sunset to get some nice shots of some very well cared for cars.
Thanks, to Susan at, ‘Anne Thomas workwear’, for the quick delivery on the black polo, that was kindly delivered to us last week at Pateley Bridge. – https://ift.tt/363HZbI
